1) what percent of your total data matches a particular taxonomic group

2) what percent (coverage/identity) of a query sequence matches a target
"hit", leading to a taxonomic assignment

For #1:

The other tools in the group "Metagenomic analyses" all accept "Fetch
taxonomic representation" output as input, and produce various summary,
graphical, and statistical information. Please give these tools a try for.

On these tool forms, the "Fetch taxonomic representation" tool is
referred to as "Taxonomy manipulation->Fetch Taxonomic Ranks", as I
noted in my prior email. This is a legacy naming related to the prior
publication, and we apologize if this still caused confusion. This
should probably be updated, I will bring it up with the team.

For #2:

I sent instructions to Scott Tighe this morning with one example of how
to use individual tools to select, sort, group, and filter data.

While the details for your analysis may differ, the basic tool set will
probably be the same for your project. Filtering data by alignment
quality prior to "Fetch Taxonomic Representation" was also part of the
Metagenomics example in the publication we shared. The idea is to start
with the parsed BLAST output, generate statistics, filter and group data
based on those results, then go forward with Taxonomic assignments.
There are no automated tools for this process, in a single step.

Hopefully this helps to clear up the tool set,
Best,
Jen

Hello
I previously asked whether or not I could retrieve more information from "Fetching Taxonomic
Representation" as in my summarized taxonomy I have results for just about every organism
imaginable. Thus, the need to find out the percentage match for each of these results. Currently,
the Megablast results give you alignment information but the "Fetch taxonomic
represenation" gives you none and does not give you any information to match it with the
megablast results.
I appreciate the previous emails, but the comments and references do not
address this problem.
Thanks
Vincent

Subject: Re: [galaxy-user] Metagenomics
A small warning re-the current cloud-Blast+ config.
To properly use the metagenomic tools, if you use the blast+ galaxy tool, make
sure to export in blast.XML, then you'll need a script to parse out the readID
and the Hit_def (as the hit ID). It appears that the 'Hit_def' field contains
the correct key to the taxonomy database. Specifically, the Hit_def field is
in the format #_#, where the 'gi' id is the first #. The tabular (normal and
extended) data does not contain this info.
I noticed this after attempting to use the tabular data, and using a trimmed
col[1] (supposed to be hit seqID), but my results always came back as a ranked
list of the most sequenced genomes in nt.... basically keying in randomly.

Hi Vincent, Scott,
Filtering raw hits is an important part of a metagenomics analysis pipeline.
Please see the methods described in the published metagenomics analysis paper
associated with this tool set:
Koskovsky Pond S, Wadhawan S, Chiaromonte F, Ananda G, Chung W, Taylor J, and Nekrutenko
A. "Windshield splatter analysis with the Galaxy metagenomic pipeline". Genome
Research. 2009 Nov; 19(11):2144-53.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19819906
Live supplemental data that can be imported and experimented with is available
on the public instance, including raw data, working histories, and a tutorial
that demonstrates step-by-step the exact methods used in the publication:
http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/u/aun1/p/windshield-splatterhttp://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/library -> see "Windshield splatter"
Not all tools are available on the public main server, but a local or cloud
instance could be used with wrapped tools from the Distribution or Tool Shed,
as necessary. For example, BLAST is not available on the public instance, but
is included in the distribution for use in local or cloud instances.

Hopefully you will both find this helpful,

Hello
I am a relatively new user on Galaxy and I had a question regarding "Fetching
Taxonomic Information". It is great that I can retrieve all of the hits for each
sequence, but I cannot seem to find an option to also provide how accurate of a match it
is to the given taxon. For instance, a percentage match. I can access this information
in the original file and programmatically retrieve it but, it would be nice if it came in
one package so that I can avoide those false hits that have a low percentage match. Can
you please provide me with instructions on how to best to retrieve this information
(hopefully in a single file)?
Thank you
Vincent
